G20 Summit opportunity for India to expose China on transgressions: Mallikarjun Kharge

NEW DELHI: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday asserted that the Indian territories, including Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin are an “indistinguishabl” part of the country, and the G20 Summit here will be another opportunity for India to expose the issue of China’s transgressions at the global stage.

He also said that the status quo ante before May 2020 should be of utmost importance, and the Modi government must not budge from anything less than the restoration of the same. In a tweet, Kharge said, “The Indian territories including Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin are an indistinguishable and inalienable part of India. No arbitrarily invented Chinese map can change that.” He also stressed that China is a habitual offender and said, “China is a habitual offender when it comes to renaming and redrawing maps of territories, belonging to other countries.”

“The Indian National Congress takes strong objection to any such illegal representation or renaming of India's territories. We want a peaceful coexistence with our neighbours, including China and want peace and tranquility at the LAC (Line of Actual Control).

“It is, however, painful to note that China's deception and belligerence continues, post Galwan, in the wake of Prime Minister Modi giving them a free pass, by saying ‘no one entered our territory’, after 20 of our brave soldiers were martyred,” he charged the BJP-led Centre.

The Congress leader, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said, “The status quo ante before May 2020 should be of utmost importance, and the Modi government must not budge from anything less than the restoration of the same.” (IANS)
